Impressionism and Expressionism
Art and life
Use splatter painting to make an abstract composition.
Expressionism
Expressionist artists use art as a
way of expressing their feelings.
Instead of representing reality,
they use lines, shapes and
colours to represent emotion.
Jackson Pollock painted with
vigorous splats of paint instead
of applying brushstrokes. This
style of painting is called action
painting.
